Freedom Hill Shiraz 2004

Typical old style wine. Abundance of fruit especially stewed prunes following through from the nose to the palate. Hints of peppery-spicy undertones subtly integrated during barrel maturation. A wine to lie down for many years of enjoyment. A true example of Shiraz made in the traditional world style.

A wine that calls for good food and serious company.Serving temperature: Room temperature
